@owendubmc That is a mandolin.

Carl and Pearl are smiling down from on high; good job Daniel!!!!

Lucille Starr would be proud of Mona, Mrs Darrell McCall. Dicky Overbey is by far one of the best of the best steel pickers ever. Even those steel pickers that everyone has heard of enjoys Dicky's work.

I think this was written in tribute to Rufus Thibodeaux, Jimmy's long time fiddle player. Straight up 100% Cajun...

A very young Little Roy Wiggins doing his mastery on the steel guitar!

Rest in Peace my friend, through it all you were still a lady in a time when that was out of vogue. You did it right girl!!!!

Wow...was Emmons EVER that young???

I've known "Little" Jimmy Dickens for nearly 40 years...and he ain't changed one bit; ya gotta love that!!!

Bill Anderson once said that one of his inspirations for this song was lower Broadway in Nashville at the time he wrote this; having been there I can see why.

Ron Elliott on Steel Guitar; one of the very best in Nashville.

Little Roy Wiggins at his finest on the steel guitar!!!!

@BlindTom61 I think it might be the co-owner of Sho~Bud, Shot Jackson...

Actually, this song was written by Blanche and Virgil Brock. Hank Williams did have the first wide spread hit on this song but he did not write it.

I first heard Dickie with Faron Young. Watch Faron Young's "I miss You Already" and you'll see a YOUNG Dickie Overbey. As a steel player I appreciate good player's...Dickie is one of the best and IS the most versatile Steel Players to ever play one...

Ray Price can sing the phone book and make it sound better than that stuff coming out of Nashville!!!!

Cindy Walker wrote this especially for Jim just prior to the escalation of the Viet Nam War. Jim had a habit of going into Studio B upon his return to Nashville after a road trip (often in the wee hours of the morning, he had a key). He would record many songs and when he got home he would give t...

Ahh Lass, ya sing this little diddy as it should be sung!!!

@SherrySever This was recorded long before Ray Peterson did it by Bob Will and his Texas Playboys...in the early 40's I think.

Cindy is a true master of the steel guitar. She is one of the best I've ever heard using the volume pedal and touch and tone. I think Jerry Byrd is smiling down from Heaven.

I know most of these people listening to this young man; and I know them well enough to see by the expressions on their faces that they were pleasantly surprised by his performance. It doesn't get any better than that; true legends enjoying the work of a young artist relatively unknown outside of...

I think that somewhere up there Marty is smiling down...nuff said.

More than anything else, I remember Ralph as a gracious and warm person who would always answer the endless questions of a newby to the business. I had the great honor of having coffee with Ralph and Chuck Seals one time at Shoneys at Music Row on Division St. I think I learned more in that half ...

@studeystudebaker50 I lived in Nashville for a long time and I have been told several versions of this story, the one that I think is the most accurate is... Marty had not heard Frankie, one of His favorite singers with anything new for a while. He had written this song but never recorded it so h...

Watching George and Little Roy work live was truly a wonderful experience. They fed off one another and would often either break one another up; or bring each other to tears. I know both, Roy better than George but both were truly nothing more than every day people who had simply achieved success...

@mollymitch1 I think it might be, told from the standpoint of Teddy Bear's Mom. It has been so long since I heard it I wasn't sure of the title but I think you are right.

I was working the all night shift at a radio station and I played this for the first time after receiving the new CD it was on. The next song was followed by a ad spot and before that spot finished a man called and with a broken voice he thanked me for playing this song. He had lost his wife a ye...

I think this is the re-recorded version that Gov. Davis recorded when he was 93 years old. I can't remember the CD title but I do remember that it had a photo of him with a green border around it.

The "Big E" Buddy Emmons on steel, it just doesn't get any better than this!!!!

@MrRETEROROB Still is!!!

This was filmed when Buddy Emmons was still co-owner of SHO~BUD with Shot Jackson. SHO- for Shot, and BUD for Buddy, co-founders of the Sho-Bud Steel Guitar company.

@ageingtrucker The late Little Roy Wiggins "could make a statue cry"; a quote from his best friend George Morgan. George wrote "Hey Mister Ting-A-Ling Steel Guitar Man" especially for Little Roy. I knew both Little Roy and George but I knew Little Roy much better than George because George passed...

The steel player on this is Don Helms who was a member of Hank Williams Sr's. Drifting Cowboys.

Chet's first gig was with the Carter Family on WNOX Mid Day Merry-Go-Round. Then he went to Nashville and the rest is history.

@KernriverMerle That's Amber's step dad; Dicky Overby on steel. Dicky is among the top steel pickers around.

@kramerscape1 Actually she is singing this song as it was originally written. When Queen Liliuokalani wrote this song it was her way of saying goodbye to the Hawaiian Islands and her culture forever. She wrote "Aloha Oe" in 1878, in 1901 Hawaii became an American Territory owned mostly by rich ...

The late Ralph Mooney taught Barbra how to play steel. Joe Maphis taught her how to play everything else; they did a GOOOOOOD job!

Nothin' any better than a good old Cajun Waltz. Sheryl at her best with some of the finest Cajun steel I've ever heard on that Sho-Bud.

George wrote this especially for Little Roy Wiggins just so he could showcase the style of steel guitar that was perfected to an art form by Little Roy.

@fretts Actually it was a blown capacitor in Grady martin's amp.

@heavymetalover123 That is an acoustic Hawaiian Steel Guitar.
